Tidbits from Charisma Brands (our sales rep & sales mgmt) & Count Your Beans (January 2008 - present)

** Good Night Kissy and Adora Poetry In Motion are now in stock! Those who pre-ordered will be contacted by 10/13. We received our first supply of Adora Belle January Belle Calendar Girl & the Calendar Holder but it is sold out in pre-order. Our second supply is expected around 10/23 and is available for pre-order now!

** As always, we will be gladly offering QVC price matching for any dolls we carry that will be shown on Marie's October 6th QVC shows! Although we don't yet have inventory in hand due to Charisma port delays (please see update from 9/28), we will still do the match and we appreciate your support and patience.

** Count Your Beans just learned and is happy to announce that we will be carrying a small supply of the Marie Osmond Internet Exclusive Goodnight Kissy doll. This special doll is limited to only 150 pieces worldwide. We expect our supply to arrive to us by mid-October. They are currently available for pre-order!

** Baby Donny Tiny Tot & Boo Who Tiny Tot have just arrived into stock at Count Your Beans! Those who pre-ordered will be contacted within approximately 48 hours. If you have other outstanding dolls to ship with your tiny tots that have not come in yet, please let us know whether you'd like individual or combined shipments. We do still offer Free UPS Grd/Ins S/H in the continental USA on shipped orders of $50 or greater!

** Adora Poetry In Motion, Adora January Belle and the Calendar & Calendar Holder should be arriving to Count Your Beans by around October 15th.

** Tree House Tots, Too Sweet Tots and October dolls will be arriving in late October as they are supposed to arrive in port to Charisma around October 17th. Due to QVC's continuity program and request, Christmas Cookie Tiny Tot has been pushed back to late October and the Sugar Cookie Tiny Tot & Milk and Cookies Tiny Tot will probably now be coming in mid November. Rag-A-Muffin ETAs have been pushed back to mid-November. We've been assured that they'll all definitely arrive in time for the holidays, however we appreciate your patience and support with the dealys.

** We learned from Charisma on Friday that the next release of new Marie Osmond dolls after Marie's October show won't be until February 2009. There will not be a January show. Descriptions for February 2009 dolls are anticipated in approximately 3 - 4 weeks.

** Important October Dolls Shipping Update: Marie Osmond is scheduled to have her last two doll shows of the year on QVC on Monday, October 6th from 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. PST and 10:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. PST. The October dolls will be shown at that time. We were told by our Charisma rep on September 25th that the retailer supply of most October dolls is currently late in transit and isn't due to come into their Maryland warehouse until the middle part of October. As it will take a couple days to inventory and a week in transit time from MD to our location in WA, we are estimating that the October dolls won't be arriving until late October.

Dolls impacted likely include: Adora Belle January Calendar Girl - 2009 AB Calendar Girls Calendar with Holder - Babe - Baby Cakes - Baby Lisa Tiny Tot - Baby Santa - Faylinn Holiday Fairy Baby - Kissy Under The Mistletoe Tiny Tot - Magic of Christmas Keepsake - Peppermint Too Sweets Tot - the balance of the other Too Sweets Tots not yet in - Tree House Tots

We're still awaiting ETA confirmation on Christmas Cookie Tiny Tot - Cookies & Milk Tiny Tot - Sugar Cookie Tiny Tot - Adora Poetry In Motion. The last we heard, these were physically in stock but still have a mid-October estimate to retailers.

** Baby Donny Tiny Tot & Boo Who Tiny Tot should be in transit soon and are expected to arrive in early October.

** The Whispering Willows Fall dolls are going to be shown on QVC on Sunday, October 12th from 11 p.m. - midnight. Most of the Whispering Willows Fall dolls should be shipping to retailers from Charisma's Maryland Distribution Center around October 17th. We hope to have them in stock by Friday, October 24th or Monday, October 27th. We will do our best to get the Halloween related dolls turned around as soon as possible.

** Charisma and Count Your Beans apologize sincerely for the delay in transit for dolls you are waiting for. We hope those who pre-ordered with us will continue to keep their dolls on order. If we hear of a change in transit time estimates, we'll be posting it here. If you have any questions, please let us know and we'll be happy to help.

Please check out our Marie Osmond Alphabetical Listings for Amazing New Autumn Specials including reduced pricing on most April 2008 releases!

We also received some of the new accessories for the Whispering Willows series and the very popular Tatianna is now back in stock!

Those who pre-ordered will be contacted by 9/22. The initial retailer supply of Baby Olive Marie is now sold out at Charisma. There will be another run produced but we were told it may not arrive until late December. If you would like to guarantee this doll for the holidays, we definitely recommend ordering her early. We do have some spares but not too many!

Please check out our Marie Osmond Alphabetical Listings for Amazing New Autumn Specials! We recently added pictures for all the October dolls.

Hello Marie Doll Collectors & Friends! It's been a really busy last couple of weeks. We hope you had the chance to enjoy Marie's shows on QVC on 8/30 and 9/1. She offered some gorgeous dolls with some amazing anniversary pricing that we're happy to say we are matching and offering now on our website!

Please check out our Marie Osmond Alphabetical Listings for FANTASTIC August Show doll price matching & End of Summer Specials! We've also added pictures for all the October dolls!

We are receiving the August Release dolls in staggered shipments and are currently in the process of contacting all of you who placed pre-orders. We have said this before but we mean it sincerely, we appreciate your patience and support of the Count Your Beans family! We appreciate your patience in waiting for your dolls to arrive and we thank you for being so nice in your correspondence and phone calls! The last couple of weeks were a lot busier than we anticipated and as such, we fell a bit behind on emails, shipping and phone calls For that we do apologize. The good news is that it is a really good sign for Marie Osmond, Charisma Brands, Count Your Beans and perhaps the economy as well. John and I care about servicing you and retaining your business and we hope you enjoy your new beauties!

** The following dolls have now arrived in stock - Adora Belle Holiday 2008 - Baby Googlie Eyes - Baby Mermaid - Birthday Babies A Bloom Blossom Tiny Tots: Black, Blonde & Brunette - Bella - Buttons & Bows Chocolate Anyone - Candy Corn Too Sweets Tot - Daisy Wallflower - Dark Chocolate Hersheys Miniature - Ella - Happy Halloween Keepsake - I Love You Baby - Jacqueneta Fairy Rosebud - Kissy It All Better Tiny Tot - Little Things Keepsake - Roly Poly (initially from June) - Satin Tiny Tot - Serenity Becoming Butterflies - Smart Cookie Tiny Tot - Tiger

** We have heard that Baby Olive Marie Toddler (initially a 4 week hold with QVC) is shipping early and we are expecting her at Count Your Beans next week. We were told she is sold out at Charisma and there will probably not be another run of her produced in 2008. If you are interested in this doll, she's on sale now! (For those looking for a Donny to go with their Marie, we also are happy to say that we acquired a few more Baby Donny dolls with COAs signed by Donny)

** The other 4 week holds will be shipping to arrive in early October and include: Adora Belle Poetry In Motion - Baby Donny Tiny Tot & Boo Who Tiny Tot

** The Cookie Tiny Tots Series (Christmas Cookie, Cookies & Milk, Smart Cookie & Sugar Cookie) were originally supposed to be all August releases, however since QVC offered them on air as a continuity series, the only tiny tot retailers have received in the series so far is Smart Cookie Tiny Tot. We've been told by our rep at Charisma that they will try to get the other three tiny tots sent to retailers at the same time and they're shooting for a mid-October date. When we hear more, we'll be happy to let you know.

** Other dolls pushed back in ETA include: Too Sweets Tots (ETA is now October), Carrot, Cherry & Oatmeal Rag-A-Muffin (ETA late October), Tree House Tots (ETA TBD), Baby Cakes (October), Baby Lisa Tiny Tot (October)

** Charisma Brands had a very positive August show and as such, they are sold out or very close to selling out of the following dolls: Bella - Ella - Happy Haunting Keepsake - Baby Olive Marie Toddler. We still have a few left of each available in order or pre-order.

** We've been told that they will very likely NOT be bringing back the holiday themed dolls after 2008 so if you are interested in these, please don't miss out in ordering or pre-ordering. All of these dolls have been flying off the shelves here as well. Dolls Charisma has said they consider holiday themed are: Happy Haunting Keepsake, Candy Corn Too Sweets, Ella Holiday Toddler, Adora Belle Holiday 2008, Baby Santa, Magic of Christmas Keepsake, Kissy Under the Mistletoe Tiny Tot, Faylinn Holiday Fairy Baby & Mommy's Girl Holiday (Retail Exclusive)

** The Fall Kewpie dolls are now in transit to us with the exception of Vampiress (ETA October). We have some great Kewpie dolls on sale now, including a few other cuties for Halloween such as Scarecrow Kewpie & Kitty Kat Kewpie.

** The ETA for the Whispering Willow Fall Fairies is mid October, hopefully to coincide with the launch of this line on QVC

** At this time, Charisma does not have a planned holiday giveaway. In the past they in collaboration with retailers would give away a gift each year to ship with the October dolls. In the past this has included calendars, pins, ornaments or a CD. Because there is going to be an Adora Belle Calendar Girl Series, there is not likely to be a separate calendar giveaway. The calendar that is coming with the Adora Belle Calendar Girls is available for separate purchase but our understanding is you must purchase it with the calendar holder.

** There have been a number of questions about the Adora Belle Calendar Girls series. We highly recommend that you watch Marie's presentation on QVC in October because the Calendar Series dolls will be debuted then and I think they will show all 12 on air for you to see. Our understanding is that QVC will run it as a continuity / auto-ship program, however you can order the dolls individually from Count Your Beans. The ETA for each Calendar Girl doll is 2 - 3 months before its actual calendar month. (i.e. January Belle is due in October 2008, February Belle is due in November 2008, March Belle is due in December 2008 & so on.)

** Marie Osmond has just announced the October 2008 releases. We hope to have these up on our website by 8/30. Included in the list are: Babe Bare Bottom Series doll by Ping Lau - Baby Lisa Tiny Tot by Karen Scott - Baby Santa Toddler by Karen Scott - Calendar Girls Adora Bitty Belle dolls (5" each, 1 for each month of the year) - Faylinn Fairy Baby by Karen Scott - Kissy Under The Mistletoe Tiny Tot by Marie Osmond (VERY CUTE!) - Magic of Christmas Keepsake - Peppermint Too Sweets Tot by Eddy Mosqueda

** According to Charisma's new website, Marie's October QVC shows will be on Monday, October 6th at 8:00 a.m. PST and 10:00 p.m. PST.

** Charisma Brands is excited to announce the acquisition of Paradise Galleries dolls. As Paradise Galleries collectors may know, the original Paradise Galleries site closed their doors earlier this year. We worked with the Retailer side of the organization (Thomas Boland & Co.) selling select Paradise Galleries dolls at Retail.

The Paradise Galleries website is now re-open for business and if you read their "About Me" page, you will see the company is now part of the Charisma Brands family. As we were also an authorized Paradise Galleries / Thomas Boland retailer and currently still have some older Paradise Galleries inventory, we asked Charisma if retailers would be allowed to purchase new Paradise Galleries inventory at wholesale. Unfortunately it appears that for at least the short-term, Charisma will be running Paradise Galleries as a catalog / direct to consumer company. Although we'd like to be able to offer their dolls to collectors through retail and will welcome the opportunity to do so, it appears for now that most Paradise Galleries dolls will be only available through Charisma directly. We will continue to offer the older Paradise Galleries inventory we have.

That being said, they are offering some Marie Osmond, Artista and Candy Fashion dolls on their website that we already have in stock or have pre-ordered. We will do our very best to price match their offerings if it is cost-effective for us to do so. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to working with you! Hopefully the acquistion of Paradise Galleries will introduce a whole new segment of the doll collecting population to Marie Osmond's dolls.

Here is a letter from Peggy Vicioso at Charisma Brands to Marie Osmond / Paradise Galleries doll collectors:

Hello Doll Friends,

We, at Charisma, have been busy in the Doll House! It is our vision be the leader in providing timeless creations that elevate spirits and enrich the lives of our collectors. In line with that mission, you have noticed Charisma Brands has acquired Paradise Galleries. We are thrilled to be able to continue to offer a channel of distribution for the top Artists they have on their roster. So many companies have stopped offering manufactured Artist dolls, and what a shame it would be not to be able to continue to share their world class sculpts. Hildegard Gunzel, Beverly Stoehr, Kathy Smith-Fitzpatrick, Linda Murray, Pat Moulton and Sandra Bilotto just to name a few! I recommend you check out the artist bio page on paradisegalleries.com.

Paradise Galleries is primarily a “direct to consumer” business. This has allowed them a lot of flexibility in offering top Artists at an exceptional value. They have many, many, many customers who look forward to their catalogs and new designs. Marie wanted to do something special to welcome the Paradise Galleries customers to the Charisma “family” by offering her hand in “Friendship”, the “Friendship Paradise Rose” doll that is…..there is actually a “Paradise Rose” and it is lavender, Marie’s favorite!

“Friendship Paradise Rose” is Marie’s sculpt of her 15th Anniversary Friendship Rose, reduced in size to about 12” seated and in a simple lavender dress. This exclusive doll created by Marie for Paradise Galleries will be in the “Marie Osmond’s Treasury Collection by Paradise Galleries”. If you purchase one, (and I do recommend it for new collectors or gift giving), you will notice some differences in the Treasury Collection verses the Marie Osmond Fine Porcelain Doll Collection. First, Treasury dolls are not Limited Editions, there is less porcelain than typical, they are packaged simply in Paradise Galleries type packaging, the fabrics are simple and the hand details are kept to a minimum to reach this value price. What a super gesture to welcome Paradise Gallery collectors to our family. Please join me in welcoming them in on the fun we all have!

See some of you all soon at out Vegas Brunch, November 7th at the Flamingo!

Happy Labor Day (I will be Laboring at QVC all weekend, think of us while you are sipping lemonade!)

** Marie Osmond is introducing a lot of wonderful dolls for her August show. From what we've been told and seen recently in preview, there will not be nearly as many dolls released in October. There were originally around 15 but many of them were pushed out to early 2009. You will see a lot of the holiday dolls in the August line-up. We do not know if they'll be shown on TV shopping in October as well, however we have been told that there is likely to be only one run, possibly two of most of the holiday dolls, so if you see something you are interested in, we recommend you pre-order her early so you don't miss out. Charisma is working to try and create more excitement and more sell-outs.

** Here is a list of the dolls just added. Detailed descriptions are included on each of our applicable alphabetical listing pages.

"A" Page - Adora Belle Holiday 2008 by Marie Osmond - Adora Belle Poetry In Motion (Marie's 1st Ball Jointed Doll) - Adora Not So Scary Belle (Retail Exclusive LE 300) by Marie Osmond

QVC will have 4 week first exclusives on: Adora Belle Poetry In Motion, Baby Donny Tiny Tot, Baby Olive Marie Toddler & Boo Who Tiny Tot. As Marie's show is anticipated to be in late August, that means retailers should expect these dolls to start shipping to us in late September for a late September or early October arrival.

** The first group of Whispering Willow Fairies dolls is now in. The dolls are wonderful and the packaging is pretty ornate. We have extras of all the debut dolls and are accepting pre-orders of the Fall / Holiday dolls and accessories. Please note that this is a Charisma Brands line but is not a "Marie Osmond" line. There are many different styles of poseable fairies in this line, truly something for everyone! Some of the holiday dolls, especially the Halloween are SUPER cute! We invite you to check out this very affordably priced series.

** Most of the June dolls will be shipping to arrive in late June around the time of Marie's show. A friendly reminder, as we're in Washington and Charisma's Distribution Center is in Maryland, it takes us about 7 to 8 calendar days to receive the dolls once they are shipped. (We hope to get most of the dolls in time for the show but ask for some flexibility as we can't control this, thanks!) Marie's shows on QVC will be on June 25th from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. PST and June 26th from Noon to 1:00 p.m. PST and 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. PST. That's a lot of hours and a lot of great dolls to be shown! We are gladly accepting pre-orders for June dolls today!

** Count Your Beans recently met with the staff of Charisma Brands and we have lots of upcoming news to share over the next few days, so please check back as we do our updates! John had the pleasure of physically meeting with the staff and I participated online via webconferencing. We got to hear about the new releases for June, August, October and even a few new dolls in 2009! We're not allowed to disclose some of the information yet but we CAN say that there are many new fabulous dolls coming over the rest of this year. (We will be disclosing information as we get permission and there are some tidbits below.)

** Charisma has been listening to your comments! Thanks to all those who wrote in. They value your input and so do we. Charisma is going to be working hard to try and bring up the value and collectibility of Marie's dolls in the future. They are in the process of changing their pre-order policies later this year to a system which is more heavily based on advance consumer interest and demand. Charisma does not want to be producing a lot of excess dolls. They want more sell-outs and when this happens, the dolls will retain more of their value and will become more collectible again. What this means to you is that pre-orders are going to become more and more important. If Charisma and your retailers don't see that there is a heavy demand for a doll, very few will be produced and even though a COA may say 1500, there may only be one run of a doll unless demand dictates another run. (Demand in this case means there needs to be enough retailer pre-orders to Charisma to make it cost-effective for them to bring in another few hundred dolls.)

The tricky part about all of this is that we as retailers have to pre-order months in advance of the dolls arriving to us. In many cases, we are pre-ordering before pictures and official descriptions are even released. We of course will do our best to order to meet the demands of our customer base. We don't want to under-order nor do we want to order too many. It's a fine art, I guess! Sometimes a doll that is a sleeper turns out to be really popular (i.e. Jenna) and sometimes a doll that we think everyone will want doesn't have much demand. You can help by letting us know what kinds of dolls you like and want to see. We will post more on this later.

** 2 New Retail Exclusives have just been added to our website for pre-order: Adora Not So Scary Belle - a full body porcelain doll limited to 300 pieces & Mommy's Girl Holiday Toddler - a toddler in a beautiful sparkling gold and shimmering white dress, also limited to 300 pieces. (The hair & eye color on this doll is different than the original Mommy's girl, so much that it looks almost like a brand new sculpt.)

** Friends Toddler which was initially a QVC exclusive with a 4 week hold is now coming to retail at the end of June. She will have a teddy bear with her instead of a doll and we received word today that she will actually be a RETAIL exclusive limited to 1500.

** Confidence Becoming Butterflies Toddler & Arabella Catching Butterflies Tiny Tot just arrived and everyone who pre-ordered should have been contacted. If you did not receive an email or an invoice, please let us know at countyourbeans@aol.com.

** Out of stock dolls expecting to come back into stock later this month include: Apple Spice RAM - Cinnamon Streusel RAM - Lemon Poppyseed RAM - Blueberry RAM - Banana Nut RAM - French Kissy Tiny Tot - Baby Rosebud - Inspiration Becoming Butterflies - Summer Sunset - Wee Care - Teacher In Training - Leela - Edelweiss - What's Cookin' Tiny Tot - Love Ewe

** The first shipment of Too Sweet Tots should also be coming in this month: Caramel Chocolate, Mint Truffle, Orange Cream, Divinity & maybe one or two more

** The debut group of Whispering Willow Fairies dolls is now in transit and should be arriving to us this week! These poseable dolls are pretty amazing! You'll want to check out the Fall / Holiday collection too!

** More new Kewpies are coming in this month and there will be new figurines and dolls for late Summer and Fall. We hope to have these on our website within a week for pre-order! Kewpie will celebrate their 100th Anniversary next year so expect to be seeing Kewpie getting more and more coverage as the time draws near!

** Charisma is going to be doing some exciting new marketing promotions for the Summer and Fall with Doll Reader, Dolls, Fairies Magazine and more! Marie will be featured in the June Issue of Woman's World Magazine and the August Issue of Good Housekeeping.

** We are looking on ways to improve our website and customer buying experience. As there are just two of us and I handle the web-design, time is of the essence but we would like to improve our communciations process. To that end, be watching in the near future for some exciting new changes at Count Your Beans!

** Count Your Beans will be attending a one-on-one meeting with the Sales Force at Charisma Brands in Southern California on Wednesday, May 28th. Charisma is looking for feedback on how they can improve. If you have any input you'd like us to share, please email it to Karen at cntyrbeans@aol.com and we'll be sure to pass it along!

** We are proud to say that we reached our Shooting Star at eBay! As of today we hit 14,001 ratings and 18,173 overall with 100% positive feedback. We do our very best to take care of our customers and provid you 5 Star Service. Thank you to all who support us both through website purchases and eBay listings! We truly appreciate the opportunity to work with you and should there ever be an issue of any kind, please let Karen (cntyrbeans@aol.com) or John (countyourbeans@aol.com) know and we'll do our best to make it right. We're not perfect but we strive for perfection and strive to give you an excellent customer service experience. THANKS!

Charisma released today a revised listing of the new June dolls. In addition to the ones we previously listed below, there are some new offerings as well. Rather than make you have to go back to our previous posts, I'll go ahead and list all the June Release dolls here. They are also all listed on our website with descriptions.

** In thinking about Marie's Limited Edition Exclusive show yesterday, it reminded us how much collectors like the lower edition size dolls! A lot of people wrote hoping the prices of dolls shown on TV would be lower because they wanted to have a special lower limited edition size doll in their collection.

In appreciation of our customers and collecting friends, we are happy to say that we currently have many LOW edition size dolls (many are Retail Exclusive) available at FANTASTIC Value Pricing!

Our 2nd order (also sold out in pre-order) and our 3rd order (dolls still availabe) should be coming in the May / June timeframe. This is a push-back for our second order which we expected in late February. Those who have dolls pre-ordered will be contacted to see if they want to wait until May / June or have the deposit refunded or transferred to another doll.

** Chenille Tiny Tot, Daisyetta Tiny Tot, French Kissy Tiny Tot, Little Things Toddler & Olive May Loving Tribute Toddler will be shipping to retailers near the end of this month.

** Marie will be showing her April Release dolls on QVC on Wednesday, April 23rd at 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. PST and 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST.

We have just updated our Marie Osmond Alphabetical Listings Pages! We currently have over 330 Marie Osmond styles of Marie Osmond dolls available for order or pre-order!

** We are doing a QVC TSV price match for the Too Sweet Tots. Anyone who already pre-ordered any of the dolls will get the discount. The way we broke it down was to $24.95 apiece, a $5 per doll savings. We have asked Charisma about the arrival dates for subsequent dolls in the series beyond Mint Truffle & Caramel but they are not sure yet which dolls are coming when. We appreciate your patience and will post new information on these dolls as we have them.

** Some of the dolls in the Spring 2008 catalog that were initially marked as Spring / April releases on our website are now more likely to be sometime in the Summer since they were not listed in Charisma's presentation of April releases that was emailed to retailers a little over a week ago.) If I haven't done so already, I will be updating the webpages to reflect that. Dolls I can think of offhand include Roly Poly & Baby Cakes (these are the 2nd and 3rd dolls in the new Bare Bottoms Series by Ping Lau), Milk Chocolate Hershey Miniatures (Krackel will come out first in April), Aiko (probably June) & Banana Cream Pie (probably June).

** There is no confirmed date yet for Marie's April QVC show but we believe it will be in late April. (We hope to receive April dolls around the time of the show.) There is no word yet as to if Confidence Becoming Butterflies is the only 4 week QVC hold for April but if there are changes, we'll let you know! (We're hoping it will stay as is!)

** The ETA for the Whispering Willow Fairies dolls will be LATE April. Thank you so much to all who have pre-ordered. We apprecaiate your support of this whimsical new series!

** The 12 Horoscope Kewpie dolls are now in stock. I will be updating our Kewpie section within 24 hours so that you may order them directly. If you have pre-ordered, we will be contacting you within 24 hours.

** Our 2nd shipment of Baby Rosebud was delayed and we're looking to get an ETA. (At this point, please assume March at the earliest.) Peaceable and Tiger have not arrived into Charisma as of Friday, February 22nd. Peaceable should be coming first and we've revised her ETA for early March. We are not sure if Tiger is on the same container.

Hi! We hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day and enjoyed watching Marie's shows on QVC! So many cuties and beauties, it's often hard to choose! We are proud to carry one of the widest selection of in-stock Marie Osmond dolls available online and want to thank all of you who trust us with your dolly dollars!

As the last few days have been quite busy, we are playing catch-up with emails and website orders from the last few days and appreciate your patience! Please note if calling in the mornings or early afternoons PST on Monday, Wednesday or Friday that we are doing shipping and your call is more likely to reach voicemail than if you call in the later part of the day. (We're doing our best to respond quickly. Email is usually the best way to reach us as we tend to burn the midnight oil.)

*** We have just added PICTURES for the following April dolls: Angel Baby Trio Tinier Tots - Arabella Catching Butterflies Tiny Tot - Butterfly Kissy Tiny Tot - Ciarra - Confidence Becoming Butterflies (just added, will be a QVC first 4 week hold) - Dottie Children's Miracle Network Tiny Tot - Eskimo Kissy Tiny Tot - Hydrangea Fairy - Just Ducky - Kamara - Krackel Hershey Miniatures - Lacey Tiny Tot - Lil Slugger Babies A Bloom Blossoms Tiny Tot - Mommy's Girl Tiny Tot - Osmond 50th Anniversary Keepsake - Pinky & Blue Boy Petite Amours - Puddin - Rosemary Tiny Tot --- all of these dolls are available for pre-order now.

The only 4 week hold for April that we've heard of so far (subject to change) is Confidence Becoming Butterflies by Sonja Bryer.. There is also going to be a Mother's Day 2008 Keepsake doll as well as the debut of a new doll series called Wall Flowers. The first doll in the series will be Rosey by Jen Printy (new Marie Osmond doll artist). We will have these new dolls available for pre-order within the next 48 hours or so.

** For those of you who have purchased our Marie Osmond Exclusive doll, Rubina Fairy, thank you! She turned out so lovely and we really appreciate all the kind feedback we have heard. It means a lot to us! We've had some questions as to if there is going to be a Rubina Fairy Tiny Tot made in the future and when we spoke to Tracy, the National Sales Director at Charisma, she said that none was planned as individual store retail exclusives generally do not become tiny tots. (I think Savannah Tiny Tot from Lane's may be the sole exception.) That being said, we honestly would not be surprised if Rubina was made into a tot because she is so awesome and fairies are extremely popular. This being said, we were told that no Rubina Fairy Tiny Tot was in the works at this time. So I guess it is one of those things that is up in the air. If there is enough demand for her and the original is a sell-out, maybe they'll change their mind.

We've also had a couple questions about the pricing of Rubina Fairy and if she will ever go on sale. Our philosophy is that since we are the only retailers of this doll, we want to make sure that Rubina Fairy holds her value for all those who have purchased her. John and I discussed that the best way to do this would be to keep her store price at $159.95 (with free S/H) until sell-out. Other fairies like Blanca Fairy and Daisyetta Fairy did a good job at holding their retail value and we want our collecting friends to know that their special limited fairy that they purchased from Count Your Beans with Marie's personal signature on the Certificate of Authenticity is not only a gorgeous collectible but a wonderful value for such a small limited worldwide edition. Thanks so much for your support with this!

** We try to keep our website stock updated however as I do all the updates and website coding manually, there are occasions where something will be in stock but will be sold out before I have the chance to update. If this is the case, we will refund your payment and/or offer you the option to keep the doll on order if it's something we have coming back in shortly. If you ever have any questions, please let us know! THANKS! Karen & John

** The following February 2008 dolls jave just arrived into stock: Baby Rosebud - Buttons & Bows Pink - Luv Some Bunny - Mary Had A Little Lamb - You're Bugging Me Tinier Tot - Adora Tu Tu Cute Belle - Pansy Blossom Babies A Bloom Tiny Tot - Valentine Keepsake 2008 - I will be updating the website to reflect stock status and QVC price matching within the next 24 hours.

These are partial shipments with more on the way. Where we received only partial shipments, orders will be filled first in order of pre-order date. Our second shipment is expected by the end of next week. We do have enough dolls from most of the first shipments to fill our pre-orders and we do have extras of some dolls as well. Dolls that are almost sold out (first shipment) include Baby Rosebud, Buttons & Bows Pink, Adora Tu Tu Cute, Valentine Keepsake 2008.

Today and tomorrow are expected to be quite busy and we will be doing our best to contact all customers who have pre-ordered within the next 72 hours. Thanks so much for your patience!

Peaceable & Tiger have not yet shipped from Charisma Brands. They were supposed to be into us this week but were delayed to Charisma's Maryland Distribution Center. They should be arriving to Charisma (in Maryland) in their next container which will hopefully be shortly. The new ETA has been pushed back to late February or early March.. Poor Tiger.... he's been waiting for over a year to appear!! It will be GRRRRRRRReat to see him! We apologize for the delay and thank you again for your support!

As a friendly reminder, the following dolls are February releases but 4 week holds with QVC. That means they get an exclusive the first 4 weeks and then Charisma ships to us. Realistically, we should get the dolls about 5 weeks from now, should all go well: Chenille Tiny Tot - French Kissy Tiny Tot - Olive May 50th Anniversary - Little Things Toddler - Caramel Too Sweets Tot - Mint Truffle Too Sweets Tot.

** We WILL be matching the QVC TSV for the Too Sweets Tots but need to figure out the pricing after we see what is shown on TV today. The plate that they are showing on TV is not available to retailers. We will be offering the dolls individually as well as in sets.

*** There will be a new Becoming Butterflies Retail Exclusive coming in April. Her name is Confidence. We should get pictures and a description by Monday but we can tell you in advance that she has dark hair and is dressed in a beautiful red dress with butterfly wings.

** Please check out Rubina (Valentina) Fairy, our BEAUTIFUL new Count Your Beans Retail Exclusive Doll - Now In Stock!**

** Rubina (Valentina) Fairy is now in stock at Count Your Beans! We have been sending emails and invoices throughout the weekend. If you have not heard from us and you did not see an email in your spam folder or a PayPal invoice in your PayPal account, please contact us countyourbeans@aol.com because we have tried to contact everyone. (There were a couple people with bouncing email addresses where we need to get your most current information.)

We are quite pleased with the way that Rubina Fairy has turned out! Marie has hand-signed each Certificate of Authenticity and we will be taking close-up pictures of Rubina in the next few days so that you may see extra detailing on her face and body. She does come with a doll stand and instructions for attaching her fairy wings. (If you leave the wings off, you could display her as Rubina Ballerina!)

Thank you to everyone for your patience and support. This is our first Count Your Beans Marie Osmond exclusive and it has been quite a learning experience for us. We feel very blessed to have such awesome customers & collecting friends. We hope you will get as much joy out of Rubina as we do!

** We have been told that most Marie Osmond February releases are now in transit to us. Most dolls should arrive by the time of Marie's 2/13 shows on QVC. Some dolls will be coming in split shipments where we expect the first shipment next week and our second shipment about a week afterwards. We have not seen the packing manifest yet so details are subject to change. We are however however expecting first shipments of the following dolls to be arriving shortly: Adora Tu Tu Cute Belle - Baby Rosebud - Buttons & Bows In The Pink - Luv Some Bunny - Mary Had A Little Lamb - Pansy Babies A Bloom Tiny Tot - Peaceable Becoming Butterflies - Rosebud - Tiger - Valentine Keepsake - You're Bugging Me Tinier Tot

As a reminder, the following February releases have a QVC first 4 week hold and will not ship out to retailers until approximately 4 weeks after Marie's 2/13 show on QVC. As dolls ship are shipping to us from Charisma's Distribution Center in Maryland, our estimate for these dolls to come in is somewhere between March 20th and March 26th. This includes: Caramel Too Sweets Tot - Chenille Tiny Tot - Daisyetta Fairy Tiny Tot - French Kissy Tiny Tot - Little Things Toddler - Mint Truffle Too Sweets Tot - Olive May 50th Anniversary Toddler

** We were told on Thursday, February 7th that Little Things Toddler which was originally slated to be an April / Spring release has been pushed up to February and will be shown on Marie's Feburary 13th QVC show. She will also be a QVC first 4 week hold but we are definitely taking pre-orders now and even have a picture of her up at our website. We suspect this doll will be quite popular as she is named for Marie's 2008 Theme... Little Things from A to Z...

*** Spring 2008 Catalogs have now arrived. Although these are for sale for $5 apiece upon request (retailers do have to purchase catalogs from Charisma), we will be including 1 Catalog free per customer with a shipped order of $100 or greater. For those of you who purchased Rubina, we are including a catalog in with your order. For those who have February dolls on order with us, we will include a catalog with your next shipment. (Shipping the catalogs with the dolls saves us quite a bit in fees and with the shipping rates the way they are, every little bit counts!)

*** As many of you may know, we do quite a bit of selling at eBay in addition to our website sales at CountYourBeans.com. eBay just made a lot of new changes to their policies, including fee increases. Some have asked if we are going to continue selling at eBay and the answer is yes. We do love our auction customers but we certainly do appreciate when they buy from us here at our website as this saves us quite a bit in listing and final valuation fees. It also allows us to offer website only specials such as Bonus Beans and Free S/H on shipped orders over $50. We are proud of over 17,500 positive feedbacks we have received at eBay over the past 9 years and hope to continue working with you no matter whether you buy from us here through our website (hint, hint) or in auction. Thanks!

*** RUBINA FAIRY DOLL UPDATE! ***

The following email is being sent out today to those customers who have pre-ordered Rubina Fairy with us. If you have not received a copy within 24 hours, please check your spam filters first and if it's not there, please let us know as we want to make sure we have your correct email address on file, thanks!

We are writing to give you an update on the Count Your Beans exclusive Marie Osmond Rubina Fairy doll that you pre-ordered from Count Your Beans.

First, we want to thank you so much for your patience in waiting for this doll to come in! We appreciate your support and are looking forward to getting this beautiful doll to you! As you may be aware if you have been following the Osmond News Page on our website, Charisma Brands promised us that we would receive this doll in plenty of time to ship for Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, due to a port and shipping distribution center delay, the dolls did not physically leave Charisma until February 5th or February 6th.

They definitely do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We sincerely apologize as well as we want to be people of our word and always try to pass along the most up-to-date accurate information. We really do believe this beauty will be worth the wait. She is so lovely, she can easily be displayed year 'round!

To the best of our understanding, these dolls *should* be arriving to us sometime on Friday, February 8th but we do not know if it will be early or late in the day. If the dolls come in before 1:00 p.m., we will do our best to get out a same day turn-around on Rubina for all dolls that are pre-paid.

We will be sending you a Paypal invoice for your balance shortly and if you doll is paid in full by 10:00 am PST on Friday, Feb. 8th, we will try our best to get her out to you that day via UPS Ground/Insured S/H. (We are offering Free UPS Grd/Ins S/H on this doll.) Our next UPS shipping day after Friday, February 8th will be Monday, February 11th.

If this is a Valentine's Gift that will be arriving late and you would like us to email you a free Valentine's Enclosure Note to you or the recipient saying that a special surprise is on the way, we would be happy to do so upon request. We can personalize with any note you'd like. If interested, just email Karen at cntyrbeans@aol.com.

If you need this doll for Valentine's Day, we do offer USPS Priority/Insured Shipping & USPS Express/Insured Shipping with an $8.50 S/H Credit toward actual cost. Please let us know if you would like this option and if you provide your shipping zip code, we will be more than happy to quote that for you. Dolls shipped via USPS Priority or USPS Express that are prepaid will go out either Friday, February 8th or Saturday, February 9th.

Thank you so much for all of your support and we really hope you will enjoy this wonderful treasure. We strive to provide you with 5 Star Service and look forward to the opportunity to work with you for many years to come. If you have any questions, just let us John (countyourbeans@aol.com) or Karen (cntyrbeans@aol.com) know!

Warmest Wishes,

Karen & John

We have just updated our Marie Osmond Alphabetical Listings Pages! We currently have over 330 Marie Osmond styles of Marie Osmond dolls available for order or pre-order!

** Our first supply of Adora My Dolly Belle is now in. Customers who pre-ordered have either been contacted or will be contacted by 2/4. We have two other orders of this doll coming in. The first is expected in early February and the second is expected in mid-February. Our Charisma Sales Rep says she believe this doll will sell out soon at Charisma so if you have not pre-ordered her, we do recommend you do so!

** Rubina is supposed to be in transit to us now. We are awaiting the tracking # for her but we are *hoping* she will arrive by the middle of the week so we can turn her around quickly for you for possible Valentine's Day arrival. (We can't guarantee that at this point since we don't have tracking information but we are doing our best to make sure that once the dolls arrive, everyone is contacted quickly.) If you want to pay off your balance is advance, just drop John or me a line at coun
